Null or nothing: Zero elements in Romance syntax and morphology
Zero elements are used by several theories in morphology and syntax as analytical tool, but the question of whether phonologically empty elements should be structurally present or not has been a controversial issue from the very beginning. In addition to analyses that work with zero, there are also a whole series of works that explicitly reject a description with zero or allow them only under restricted circumstances. This volume aims at getting a more complete picture of zero elements as a theoretic construct, its empirical necessity and its nature in different components of grammar by focusing on Romance languages. The volume presents multi-facetted viewpoints and methodologies, such as formal theoretic and data-based ones, addressing researchers, advanced students and everyone interested in linguistics. Furthermore, this volume deals with various Romance languages and varieties, such as Catalan, (Old and Modern) French, Italian and Sicilian, (Brazilian and European) Portuguese, and Spanish.

Performing Paradise: The Living Theatre in France (1968-2018)
Performing Paradise offers a groundbreaking reassessment of one of the most influential yet misunderstood theatrical experiments of the twentieth century.
This illuminating study delves deep into the aesthetic and cultural significance of the Living Theatre’s revolutionary production „Paradise Now,“ tracing its journey from its French origins in 1968 through its controversial American tour and into its contemporary legacy. Through meticulous archival research, interviews with original collaborators and witnesses, and participation in modern reconstructions of the work, Emeline Jouve provides unprecedented insights into this landmark of collective creation. The book moves fluidly between historical analysis and contemporary perspective, examining both the original production’s radical innovations in form and content and its fiftieth-anniversary revivals in France and Belgium in 2018. By contextualizing „Paradise Now“ within the political landscapes of 1960s protest movements and experimental performance practices on both sides of the Atlantic, Jouve reveals the complex cultural exchanges that shaped this legendary work while dispelling persistent myths surrounding it.
This compelling exploration will appeal to theatre historians, performance studies scholars, and practitioners interested in experimental theatre, as well as readers fascinated by 1960s counterculture, political art, and the enduring legacy of theatrical innovation.
